[QUOTE="Paleoworld-101, post: 67354, member: 998"] Some great specimens in this thread! These were found late last year, and the one on the left was the first vertebrate fossil I ever found (after collecting only plants and shells for more than 6 years). It's a pair of two articulated [i]Ichthyosaurus[/i] vertebrae and another single Ichthy vertebra from Lyme Regis in England. Picked these up straight off the pebbles on the beach and they are 190 million years old. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/998/1395739424_ichthy_vert_4.jpg[/img] Also found this on the Isle of Wight in England. It is a 30 million year old mammal phalanx, don't know the exact species but it is probably from [i]Bothriodon[/i] which resembled a pig but was related to hippos.
